Micrograph of corpora amylacea in benign prostatic glands. H&E stain.

Natural luminescence of corpora amylacea in the lumen of the prostate in ultraviolet light

Corpora amylacea (CA) are small hyaline masses of unknown significance found in the prostate gland,^[1] neuroglia,^[2] and pulmonary alveoli.^[1] They are derived from degenerate cells or thickened secretions and occur more frequently with advancing age, and are particularly profuse in neurodegenerative diseases.^[1] While their significance is unknown, they can be used to identify these organs microscopically. A report published in 2017 suggests a role of debris clearance for the CA.^[1] This was described in an earlier report as a debris disposal system.^[3]

In the brain, corpora amylacea are contained in foot processes of astrocytes and are usually present in sub-pial location and around blood vessels.^{[citation needed]} In comparison to prostatic corpora amylacea, these are only faintly laminar and less eosinophilic. The major constituent has been shown to be amyloid in humans^[1] and the CA in other species are known as polyglucosan bodies.^[3] These bodies have no known pathologic correlation^{[citation needed]} and can be confused with fungal yeast forms such as cryptococcus^{[citation needed]}.

In the prostate, where they are also known as prostatic concretions, they usually appear in benign glands; however, their presence cannot be used to exclude cancer.^[4]

Brain ageing in mice leads to the progressive appearance and expansion of degenerative granular structures frequently referred as "PAS granules" because of their positive staining with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). PAS granules are present mainly in the hippocampus, although they have also been descri

BACKGROUND: Fibromodulin is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan important for extracellular matrix organization and essential for tissue repair in multiple organs. The main function of this proteoglycan is the regulation of collagen fibrillogenesis; however, more recently described roles for fibromodu

Glycosylation is one of the major post-translational modifications of proteins. The status of sialylation of the neuropathological hallmarks of various neurodegenerative disorders was investigated in this study. Here, we report the novel findings that two phosphorylated tau (p-tau)-containing struct
